To my fantastic cousins who never left my side no matter what was going on in my life, We all know the terrible pain of loosing someone who is such a huge part of our life. One of our comforting thoughts can have is the thought of seeing that person and being able to share with them in the life to come. Your dad was a great guy to me, and always kind to me whenever we crossed paths. Of no surprise to me, the place that two mischief makers like the two of us can be, the place we found each others most often was in church. God Bless everyone.

Neil and I became friends from Barrett. We shared so much of the same ideals of the City of no Illusion. Our Beloved Buffalo, The Bills, Sabres, UB and Canisius. I´m going to miss our back and forth. And Barrett telling us we are just alike in our fan base ideals. Especially the latest Bills coach. RIP, Sully. You will be missed. God bless Chris and all of your family. To the only wise God our savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever! Amen.

Neil became my uncle when I was just a young teenager. So many memories come to mind when I think of him. Growing up as a Catholic he was my sponsor for my Confirmation. It is my prayer and hope that his entire family and friends be comforted in his passing. In his death I lost my last remaining uncle and a friend. Don Santucci

To me, Neil was more a brother than a brother-in-law. His very nature was to be friendly, accommodating and generous. He loved a good story, and had many to tell. Carol and I spent many a day and holiday with Neil and Chris. So too with the extended Sullivan family, all as hospitable as is humanly possible. We are sad not to be there to share their grief at his passing. He will always be in our heart and on our mind. GOD BLESS Dear Brother.

I met Neil through my brother (Butch). He loved family and making a wager on sports. Most of all he had a special relationship with my brother one that was evident through his love and kindness. The Chapman family sends our condolences and thank you for Neil's presence in our life. He had a big heart and smile. See you on the other side my friend. We love You!
